Ok so I recently trained in lashes too and I've started doing some models to get my speed up and get some experience under my belt. I charge 10€ for these appointments just to cover part of my costs and all the models already know that these are just practice cases and not the actual price.
Because I haven't set up my place yet and I have a cat which tends to use people as pillows, in most cases I prefer going to their home.
Anyway yesterday I had one such appointment. I went to the lady's house and she had a baby which she failed to mention. The kid was 1.5 year old and when I went there he was really quiet. So I set up everything and we started.
Not 5 minutes passed when he started asking for her attention, continuously shaking her hand and bringing all sorts of things to us to get our attention, from a handful of coins to the sucker of the vacuum cleaner to half his toys. You can't believe the noise he made!
At some point he started to climb on his mother, shaking her all the time, and started breastfeeding! Yup you read correctly! Breastfeeding! While I was doing her lashes!
It was a horrible appointment and I hated every minute of it. Took me an hour longer and even the work I did was horrible. She wasn't a friend, just a complete stranger. I understand having a small child, being a full time mum and all that, but really breastfeeding him during my being there? She couldn't understand how difficult that was to me, not being able to control or do anything about it? She couldn't find someone to babysit him for a couple of hours?
In any case, what with everything going on I forgot to take a picture so I asked for one last night which she happily sent. However, this morning she sent me another one with half the lashes left. She's saying that they are shedding like crazy, and wants me to see them again. I asked her if she had a shower or if she used any creams and she said no.
I don't think I can have another one of that sort of appointment but what should I do?
